📍 264 Forbes Drive, Thetis Island, BC
MLS® 1049279

3 Bedrooms | 2 Bathrooms | 1,783 sq. ft.
🌊 1.02 Acres | Oceanfront

This is West Coast living in a pretty spectacular setting.

Set on just over an acre on Thetis Island, this oceanfront home offers 109 feet of low-bank sandstone shoreline, beautiful west-facing sunsets over Stuart Channel and the kind of privacy that is getting harder to find.

The unique octagon-style home was designed to make the most of those views. Soaring ceilings and large picture windows bring the ocean right into the main living area, while the expansive wraparound deck gives you plenty of space for outdoor dining, relaxing in the sun or keeping an eye out for whales passing by. 🐋

The property also features:

🌊 Direct oceanfront with easy beach access
🌅 West-facing water and mountain views
🏡 Open-concept living area
🔥 Fireplace
❄️ Heat pump and air conditioning
🔨 Workshop
🚤 Moorage
☀️ Sunny year-round exposure

Built in 1972, this is not your typical cookie-cutter home — and that is part of its charm.

Thetis Island offers a peaceful island lifestyle while still being accessible by ferry from Chemainus, with Vancouver and Victoria also reachable by floatplane.

If your idea of home includes ocean views, sunsets, privacy and your own piece of the shoreline, this one deserves a closer look.

🏛️ — Abbotsford, 1951

Recognize this building?

This photograph shows Abbotsford’s courthouse in 1951 — and that car parked out front certainly helps set the scene. 🚗

Abbotsford’s first courthouse was built in 1923, so when this photo was taken the building had already been serving the community for nearly three decades. It would be many more years before a replacement courthouse was constructed between 1971 and 1973. ([Prairie Towns][1])

That later courthouse stood at 32203 South Fraser Way and remained Abbotsford’s courthouse until the new Abbotsford Law Courts opened in 2021 at 32375 Veterans Way. The present four-storey facility has 14 courtrooms and serves both Provincial and Supreme Court matters. ([BC Gov News][2])

Quite a difference from the quiet street, overhead wires and modest courthouse captured here more than 75 years ago.

Do you remember the old Abbotsford courthouse — or what this part of town looked like years ago?

Term: Covenant 🕵️‍♀️

Let’s unpack a word that appears in real estate more often than you might expect.

A covenant is a rule or restriction registered against a property’s title. Because it is attached to the land, it may continue to apply even when the property is sold to a new owner.

Depending on the property, a covenant might:

🏡 Set minimum home sizes or building standards
🏗️ Limit the types of structures that can be built
🌲 Protect trees, green space, views or environmentally sensitive areas
🚧 Restrict where construction can take place
🏘️ Help maintain a consistent appearance within a development

Before buying a property, it is important to review any covenants registered on the title. A restriction could affect future plans such as adding a suite, building a detached garage, changing the exterior or developing part of the land.

Real estate comes with plenty of fine print, but you do not have to figure it out alone. If you come across a term that leaves you scratching your head, just ask. 💛
